How am I a fascist?

[Marener]

Dang, is that anything like when they force businesses to close, require you to get a shot (multiple shots), and censor opposing opinions?

Not really.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Dang, is that anything like when they force businesses to close,

Yes.
Then burn them down.

require you to get a shot (multiple shots),

Yeah, I can imagine fascist doing that.
Hitler did that.

and censor opposing opinions?

Yes, Trump did that.

So.........You're in favor of all three.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Fascism defies a simple definition and instead a constellation of traits used by authoritarian leaders.

The most important trait is extreme nationalism. It’s essential to their ideology.

There is an old-fashioned phrase for that.

"cop-out."

 

[Marener]

Far-right?

What does that even mean? Why not just define it as being MAGA?



Looking at the rest of your definition, "Characterized by a strong central authority, suppression of opposition, and the subordination of the individual interests to the nation", this is all Leftwing stuff.

And opposition to democracy, just ask Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders how democratic the DNC really is.

Where did you get opposition to socialism when the Nazi regime called themselves National socialists?

We know, you just want to trash everyone that is not a socialist like yourself because socialism is all about an oppressive centralized authority.

Pathetic.

Try again.

Just look at this ignorant chart on the Left vs. right political scale.

What does the scale even measure? Nothing is what it measures.

Conversely, a scale that measures central authority, which is at the heart of fascism, looks like this

I would argue, however, that anarchists are Left wing because anarchy always leads to authoritarianism, which is what the Left is all about.

Conservatism does not equate to libertarian.

AI Overview

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology and movement. It's characterized by strong central authority, suppression of opposition, and the subordination of individual interests to the nation, often with militaristic and expansionist goals. Fascism is fundamentally opposed to democracy, liberalism, and socialism.

False.

Fascism was invented by Mussolini. He was a life long socialist who kept failing to get people to buy into socialism. He saw how popular nationalism was so he adopted that into socialism and shifted power to corporations that would do the bidding of the government.

Suppression of opposition is exactly how the left operates. They collude with Big Tech so suppress free speech on social media platforms. They abuse the Justice system to imprison political opponents.

The left fully supports wars like Obama’s proxy wars in Libya, Syria, and of course the Ukraine debacle.

Democrats today are fundamentally opposed to democracy (see supporting a dictator in Ukraine, rigging elections at home).

Democrats are far closer to being Fascists than MAGA ever will be.

 

[Votto]

Conservatism does not equate to libertarian.

These terms have all become bastardized to render them virtually useless.

And it is on purpose.

I much prefer taking the definition of fascism and applying it to either political party than words you have an idea mean something when the other does not.

For example, which party favors centralized control the most?

Currently, many conservatives favor an Article V movement to return state rights to the states, which by definition is decentralization. It is why the Founders came up with the concept of Federalism, but over the years the Progressives have centralized power to the Federal government, which no doubt you favor.

It’s the truth.

Let's go, Marener. I've had about enough of these vague claims from the left today.

It makes one wonder what the term "nationalist" even means.

To equate someone a nationalist today implies they are Hitler, when really those that represent the nation are merely just doing their job, unless you are like socialists that think illegals should vote and be represented by like the citizens of that country.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Yes. There is one devoutly religious guy here named ding who equates me with Hitler, Pol Pot, and other atheist leaders of the past when he is losing the debate, and that means always.

We all know ding is a ding-a-ling -

OK MAGA.

Looking at the rest of your definition, "Characterized by a strong central authority, suppression of opposition, and the subordination of the individual interests to the nation", this is all Leftwing stuff.

BS.
Look at the spineless worms in Congress.
Handing over THEIR authority to a spineless traitor.

And opposition to democracy, just ask Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders how democratic the DNC really is.

Where did you get opposition to socialism when the Nazi regime called themselves National socialists?

You need to read a history book , genius.

Hitler gained power in the German national socialist party, then turned to NAZISM.

We know, you just want to trash everyone that is not a socialist like yourself because socialism is all about an oppressive centralized authority.

Like Trump.

Pathetic.

Fake news, moron.
Look at Trump's brown shirts arresting people right off the street.
Covered faces, no ID's. guns drawn.

And many conservatives don’t want to return states rights when it doesn’t suit them.

Trump is in court right now saying he can federalize national guard troops for any reason he wants and no one can second guess him, including the courts.

A better concept is a two axis view of politics with liberal and conservative on one axis and authoritarian and libertarian on the other axis.

You made a mistake citing that to me. If you're going to cite anything remotely objective, you could have done better than this.

"Hierarchy: Unlike liberal thought, which expands dignity and rights to all, fascist ideology sees hierarchy as rooted in nature, using myths to legitimize dominance by the powerful. Equality is portrayed as a denial of this natural order."

Furthermore, you did nothing but cite something that confirms your own biases; it doesn't truly define fascism.
